This webinar will review the recently updated measurable skills gains (MSG) modification released by OCTAE. Recent updates to NRS reporting provide states and adult educators with great flexibility for reporting performance in integrated education, training, and workplace literacy programs. Now the actual workplace skills and competencies learned in these programs can be reported by states as gains in the National Reporting System (NRS). National experts with state directors will provide an overview of the NRS changes, suggestions for state level policy, and examples of methods the new MSG measures can be applied to in order to capture participant performance.

Abstract:
I-BEST is a recognized and successful IET model that helps adult learners access and succeed in postsecondary level career and technical programs. However, this robust model may not be the right fit for students at a lower skill level, and it can be a difficult model to implement for programs not closely engaged with a community college in their region.

Abstract:
Under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, improving adult learners’ ability to attain a job with family-sustaining wages is a high priority. One vehicle to achieve this is Integrated Education and Training (IET) programs set within career pathways. While there are several professional development (PD) resources that introduce IET concepts and program models, many adult educators struggle as they put policy into practice and during the implementation phase. In particular, adult education and literacy instructors and technical skills instructors are challenged to create a single set of learning objectives. Program administrators likewise need guidance in supporting IET teachers effectively. This presentation will highlight recent, innovative approaches of the American Institutes for Research to support IET implementation among AEFLA providers across California. The co-presenters will describe PD strategies used in their implementation clinic and lessons learned. Participants will experience an interactive activity from the clinic and receive additional PD resources.
